DHS Chief: ´We´re Asking Passengers to Fill Out a Declaration About What Symptoms Do You Have
CNSnews ^ | October 9, 2014 | Susan Jones

Posted on 10/09/2014 10:50:18 AM PDT by opentalk

Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson on Wednesday announced "more enhanced screening" for the estimated 150 travelers flying into the United States every day from West African countries where the deadly Ebola virus is spreading."

The protocol is, first of all, our Customs personnel are very skilled at examining people, assessing people for a variety of reasons. And we're asking passengers to fill out a declaration about what symptoms do you have? Are you feeling ill? Where have you been for the last 21 days and where will you be for the next few days?"

And, through a non-contact thermometer, we're going to be taking the temperatures of every passenger that comes from one of the three affected countries."

Quarantine for 40 days anyone who has visited the affected countries.

Everything else is eye-wash.

I wonder if the TSA would accept a declaration form that I am not carrying explosives in my oversized tube of toothpaste?

TSA goon: "Where you comin' from?"

Passenger: "Sierra Leone."

TSA goon: "That's near Aruba, right?"

Passenger: "Righto. I'm feeling...blaarffff...great. Sorry bout that. Threw up in my mouth a bit. Got some bloody vomit on your clipboard. Cough cough."

TSA goon: "No problem. I'm wearin' gloves. Neeeeexxxxt! Hurry up. I gotta break comin' up in five."

Isn’t that kind of too late?

Just like the current airport screening: all for show, just to show that THEY are doing something and trying to inconvenience as many people just because they can.

Its pretty clear to everyone who is responsible as this disease spreads.

Maybe a silver lining in this mess is a complete breakdown in public trust for the government. Its past time Americans re-took charge of their own lives.

This is a joke, right? What about the incubation period? "Customs personnel are very skilled..." in what? Searching old ladies and wheelchair bound? Since when are they medically trained? Ask a couple of questions? People lie every day at airports. If this spreads further in the US, I would suggest selling your airline stocks.

This is going to get bad for air travel.

This so-called "questionnaire" reflects the ongoing failure of so-called "progressives" to exhibit any common-sense understanding of human nature. "Progressive" policies, as a result, fail to achieve their stated goals, because they are based on counterfeit ideas.
